1. It was likely basic Bunshin, nothing solid.

The text there says "kage" though. I thought there was only one shadow clone type, not a whole category. Of course there's elemental versions, but that isn't elemental. Kakashi if I remember right was also warn out from using chidori and sharingan, or is that incorrect?

New Sharingan. He passed out after the Rin incident, so he unlikely remembered he awakened it.

That helps. Thanks.

3. Agreed, but not really plot. Just kind of.... mean?

Well I consider it a plot hole somewhat because Itachi was revealed basically to be the lawful good that protected the village and the world from war and carnage and wanted to protect Sasuke, not torture, make him evil or lead him to his death. Then again, he did manipulate Sasuke's life against his will and even wanted to cast KA on him.

I think it's more or less supreme endurance, rather like how ninja are strong enough to jump tree to tree, hold humans up with one hand, etc.

Perhaps, but other than A, Deidara is about the only one I can recall not really reacting to such injuries. A is understandable considering how physically strong he is, but Deidara was a skinny little terrorist who rode a giant clay bird and not much of an up close combatant.

8. Or, because he was somewhat of an "Orochimaru Jinchuuriki" (lol), he might've used his chakra.

I think the curse mark helped him, but think about it, Orochimaru stated Sasuke's chakra was what was keeping him bound in him. If it was depleted, shouldn't he have been able to escape like he did in the Itachi fight?

9. Too much science involved for me to explain this. He wasn't using natural energy more-so than guiding it.

It's not coming up. I can't find myself to believe that when he actually shaped it into a dragon and manually controlled it to crash down. I'm still thinking his chakra and curse mark chakra were still in the atmosphere and he was manipulating that.

10. Gedou Mazo hasn't been shown healing living people, just Nagato's dead bodies.

I wasn't talking about Gidou Mazou, but the Naraka path's King of Hell. True, Naraka path did not heal any living people, however King of Hell was the one who used Rinnei Tensei and though Nagato was an edo tensei, he was in his original "form" at least and was able to restore himself with the Naraka path.

11. That is weird, but not a plothole.

Like I said, considering most of the avatars in life mirrored the paths they were given, each one's bodily chakra was probably only compatible with one path.

12. Kakashi has the same problem, transplanted eyes don't seem to be able to switch back to anything unless you count Kakashi's MS.

Good point. Thanks.

13. It's not permanent, it's just able to make it seem as if you are doing what the Genjutsu wants you to do of your own accord.

Yeah, I must have gotten mixed messages somehow. It's ever lasting but looks like it can be seen and released.

14. And this explains why Danzo could use it more.

It's not coming up, but I figured Hashirama's chakra probably boosted it.

16. Never stated to be more than one element outside of Naruto wiki. Just looks like good Amaterasu control.

This is true upon further inspection. However, it is called Blaze release. If it were simply fire like Amaterasu, wouldn't calling it Katon be enough? He can also wield it in his hand and shape it into weapons like chidori. This led me to believe it has chidori in it as well.

17. Isobu may not have realized Yagura was being controlled.

I suppose it's possible if Yagura had been unaware. Still, if they were harmonized the Isobu should have sensed Obito's chakra in him as well as any change in behavior. This theory would also open up another hole since it more or less implies Obito's genjutsu was as strong as Shisui's in that neither Isobu nor Yagura were aware of it, and that can't be possible because Obito coveted Shisui's eye. If he had the same genjutsu, what would be the purpose of coveting it?

19. Obito had Rinnegan, Uchiha and Senju chakra. Strong chakra seems to resist control. Tobirama for a brief period overrode Orochimaru's control.

Madara had all the same chakras however. I'm still aiming at Obito's Rinnegan being the real one and thus stronger.

20. Where did it say they were in their fifties...? Tobirama died young...

True, I'm basically just assuming since Tsunade was born while Hashirama was still alive and she is his granddaughter. Unless Tsunade's parents were very young when they had her, it wouldn't make much sense. I'm still going with them being pure senjus and thus being granted longevity or vitality with their high yang chakras.

22. Why the first Raikage?

Several reasons. Konoha and the Cloud have been at war off and on with each other several times. The cloud are warmongers and possess the largest military. Their kages are bijuu level and can battle them head on, they're almost as fast as Minato, etc etc. The first mizukage and tsuchikage were already quite old while the first Kazekage was seemed quite fearful and greedy and didn't give off much of a strong vibe. This leaves the first Raikage, whom was the first to catch my attention. He was middle aged and his successors alone were strong.

-Kakashi was stated to have no idea that he even had MS until pt2 and the first time we see him introduce it is when he and Naruto are pursuing Deidara. Meaning it was a little too late to help Hiruzen, he didn't even realize he had it back then.

Yes, I reviewed and remembered that part. My bad.

-I feel like it is more of the bold. Anytime Sasuke felt like killing Naruto, he would get an image of Itachi saying those words in his mind and decide against it. Itachi lived with Sasuke for 8 years, it was probably reverse-psychology.

Agreed.

This isn't quite a plothole. There is a multitude of reasons honestly.

-Considering that Sasuke woke up as an 8 year old in the hospital fine, he would have woken up as a 13 year old too,

But he was in a comatose. Can you be sure of that?

had Tsunade been there or not, especially considering that he was stronger mentally. We don't quite know how long Tsukiyomi affects someone.

True, he was an uchiha with strong mental chakra. Good point.

-Madara probably did leave it in the Rinnegan state. Obito gave his eye to Kakashi in the sharingan state and he cannot turn it off, maybe the same rule applies here for Nagato and Madara's rinnegan.

Another good point.

-KA was never stated to be permanent. It was merely stated to be the most potent genjutsu and the victim would not know that they were under it. However, others can still see that their chakra is disturbed and break them out of it, just like any other genjutsu.

Yes, I misinterpreted it.

-It was stated that anyone with KA would only be able to use it once every ten years...unless you had Senju DNA which decreases the cool down time to a few hours. Which is what Danzo had.

I don't remember that part, but I'll accept it.

-You don't need the full bodies for Edo Tensei,

That's not what I stated lols.

if Obito had wanted to he could have asked Kabuto to revive them. However, it was stated that Shisui and Itachi were the strongest of their generations in the Uchiha. If they had those two, perhaps they didn't feel it necessary to summon the other Uchiha. Too bad Kabuto could not find Shisui's DNA.

But there was also Fugaku, the police force and the other anbu Uchihas.

ot: Madara awakening susanno without eyes.

I don't get why that's so hard for people to understand. As soon as it happened, I knew his eyes, which were in the vicinity had to be resonating with him. I remembered Pein piecing his paths out to the avatars via the gidou rods and Madara's body is filled with them.
